several western states. Our returns sug.
gest the probability that in Oaio there is

rious counties in the central and north
ern portions Of The state holding more
than usual. Comparatively few localities
in Indiana hold much old corn, and the
aggregate for the state is not greater, pos
sibly somewhat less, than usual, for this
time n the season. In Illinois the sup
ply is generally at 8 low point, bat in
central and northern districts various To-
calities still hold rather plentiful qua1si-
ties. In Iowa there are fair reserves
scattered in nearly al districts, but the
average supply is low for that state. In
Missouri a few localities still have good
supplies, but the average is probxbly low

old corn is moderate, and in many dis

In Nebraska the supply is much reduc ID,

An An Funeral.
Nouth's Communion.

Some OF our readers may think thet the
following description has g romantic
sound, but it is extracted from the PRO
ceedings OF the Linz ;e IN Society,"" having
been communicated To that leaned body
by sn observer in Australia. The writer
saw large number of ants surrounding
these that he mad killed and determined
TO watch their proceedings closely. Ac-
cordingly he followed four or five that
started If from the rest towsrd hill0ck
a short distance eff, In which vas al ants
nest.
This they entered and IN shout five
minutes they reappesred, followed by
others. All fell into rank walking regu-
larry and slowly, two by two, Until they
arrived at the spot where lay the bodies
of the soldier ants.
In few minutes two Of the ants ad-
vanced and took up the body OF theif
comrades; then two others, and So on,
until all were ready to march. First
walked two ants bearing d body,
then two without q burden
then two others with another
dead ant, and SO Cd, until the line was
extended to about forty pairs, and the
procession now moved slowly onward,
followed oy an irregular body OF about
2G0 ants.
Occasionally the two laden ants
stopped, and laying down the dead body
it WAS taken up by the two walking IN
burdened behind them, and thus, by oc-
casonally relieving each other, they ar
rived at sandy spot near the SEA. The
body Of ants now commenced digging
with their jaws NUMBER OF holes in the
ground, INTO each of which dead ant
was laid. They then fell to and filled up
the graves.
This did not quite finish the remark
able circumstances attending this insect
funeral. Some six Or seven of the ants
had attempted to run eff without per
forming their share Of the task of dig
ging; these were caught and brought
back, when they were at once attacked
and killed upon the spot. A single grave
was quickly dug, and they were all
dropped into 1t.

1t is claimed that socialism is being

property qualification for members of
Parliament. "Eight hours" said J. ri
Darlington, the governor, IN srr,- at
speech, stare considered long ebuu.h
working hours; public houses are smut
on Sundays, and museums are opened;
the sale and transfer OF land is made
very easy by statutory enactment; men
unable to find employment are proviG-
ed with work by the govern
ment and education is practically 1Eee. In
fact, if we leave out the demaod for

to organiza labor under skilled direction

was declared elected Chief by 143
majority. Since then the returns nave
betn SO changed as to count in Rob

Both parties are gathering force and de-
clare their respective Candidate shall be
sested. The only way TO settle the ques
ton is By force, there being no court to
appeal to- 1t will be fight between the
corrupt men and the peace loving cIti-
zens. In case of trouble it is feared il
win open the country and destroy the

The SEVEN SURPLUS STATES
mentioned first in the above table repre-
sented 60 per cent. Of the total crop in
1886, and 63 per cent. in the average
annual production for five years ending
with 1885; the thirteen states mentioned
in detail represent IS per cent. of the
1886 crop, and 20 per cent. of the average
for the five years period.
The result is an indicated shortage of
l6l 100000, bushels in the seven surplus
states, 2U3, 900, 0GO bushels shortage il
the thirteen detailed states, with an in
crease of 4S, 100000 bushels in other por-
lions of the country, and q shortage of
l55. 100000 bushels in the aggregate crop,
compared with 1886. The shortage IN
tue seven states in this comparison is 1G
per cent, for the thirteen states l6 per
cent, and tor the entire country 81 per
cent. As compared with the annual aver
age for the five years. period, the short

40,000,000 bushels IL twelve southern
states, 100000 in the middle statee,
The aggregate for other portions OF the
country being about the same as last

The returns show an usual proportion
Of the crop of corn this season which
will not be saved otherwise than for fod-

IN OHIO
there IS small loss On this account, sp-
proXimately 3 to per cent. of this acre
sge; in Indiana 1t is greater, being chiefly
IN the southern and western portions Of
the state, the returns indicating q loss Of
6 to per cent. OF the total acreage of the
state; in Illinois this chara cteristic is
still more LII arked, and is widely distrib-
uted through the central and southern
portions of the state, sggfegating II TO
Is per cent. of the total acreage; in Kan
sas the percentage of such loss is about
the same of in Illinois; in southern dis
tricts in Nebraska there are also consid-
cradle losses, equivalent to to per

Missouri comparatively fewidistricts have
suffered such losses, and IN Iowa there
is probably no more than ordinarily of
